Sky Italia Dish

[kevstarkie]

I want to get sky Italia for the football this season. What dish should I get? I'm a complete novice when it comes to this, I live in cornwall if that makes any difference. Thanks.

The easiest way to get it is a 60cm dish aimed at Hotbird 13E, and a Sky Italia receiver & subscription.

A zone 2 sky uk dish will be fine, and can be obtained cheaply from on line suppliers, or picked up out of skips for free - will be fine as long as its not dented!

Subscriptions can be had from our forum advertisers.

Any recommended retailers to get a zone 2 dish?

You could always go on to Ebay. I got a Zone 2 (new) from a seller on there a couple of years ago!

Not a problem, just hammer out any dents, lol ;)

Will be fine.

Don't see any reason why it should not work. Just as a footnote, I favour the MTI quad output LNBs for the elliptical sky dishes. Not keen on those Visiblewave ones.

 

[kevstarkie]

Might go for that then. Anyone else think an mti LNb would be better or will the one provided do the job?

 

[Captain Jack]

13E is such a strong satellite that even a small dustbin lid will work. The LNB will be fine.

 

[Tony1A]

As I said, the MTI is MY preferred LNB. Your view may vary. I find them to be quite a robust LNB.

Hello.
If you want,to get Sky Italia,you will need a dedicated receiver,and if you
want,it cheaply,go to ebay.it,where you can buy a receiver,and pre-paid card,
for £235.00 delivered!!!
Buy a convertor plug,on ebay,for a few pound,to convert,two-pin plug,to UK
three-pin.
Buy a decent satellite dish,in aluminium,if you can(not a SKY dish).as they
are cheap,anyway.
Get a CAI qualified engineer,too!
My motorised system get's 9,000 tv channel's,and i hardly watch,the UK,as it
is AWFUL!
I am an Italian football fan,and support AC Milan(FORZA Milan!!!).
Contact me,for more info,on satellite,if you like?

Ahem A zone 2 Sky dish will work just dandy with 13E. (Assuming its aligned at 13E not 28E!)

In most areas of the UK you will probably get away with a zone 1 as well.

 

[gibertini]

personally id go with a trax td78cm dish, inverto black ultra lnb and L bracket. although about £20 to £25 more expensive they are good quality parts and easyly motorised in future if the need arises

 

[Analoguesat]

To be honest 78/80 cm is overkill for 13E now all the old birds have been pensioned off and sent elsewhere / junked.

Hi, this is similar to what I am going to be setting up so I might as well ask here rather than start a new thread.

I also want to set up a system to watch football on hotbird. Firstly is it only sky Italia , or do al Jazeera show english premier league. I'm in Birmingham.

I used to have sky, so the dish is still on my house. Can i just use this, and twist it to 13°? Will i have to change the elevation at all, or just twist it round?

From reading, I assume I won't be able to just use my old sky box. So will have to buy a new box and card through eBay or the site sponsors here.

Anything else I'm missing? Thanks.

 

[Analoguesat]

Al Jazeera will be showing Prem games, but not on Hotbird!

Sky Italia will probably be showing some , but exact numbers of games arent known yet.

You'll need to adjust the elevation a little as 13E is slightly higher than 28E for Sky. You should also check the LNB skew.
